Bennifer fans have spent two decades waiting for the power couple to tie the knot and that moment is finally here! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck surprised us all by getting married this weekend in a tiny, private ceremony in Las Vegas.

The news of the couple’s marriage comes only a few months after their engagement in April, but it’s not exactly a shocker. They rekindled their romance two decades after their first engagement and repeatedly spoke about their gratitude for a second chance at love.

Multiple outlets reported that the couple obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on July 16 and went on to marry at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. We took this news with a grain of salt until J. Lo herself confirmed it in her “On the JLo” newsletter.

She signed it with “Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck”, confirming that she took Affleck’s last name, and describing their Las Vegas ceremony as “exactly what we wanted” and the “best night of our lives”.

“So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives,” wrote the singer.

Ben Affleck to star in and direct the true-life War World II story Ghost Army, Universal Pictures announced Tuesday.

The feature is based on the book The Ghost Army of World War II by Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles, as well as the documentary Ghost Army.

According to Variety, it tells the story of a squadron of American soldiers who were tasked with fooling the Nazis into thinking the US had larger troop numbers than it actually did. Armed with inflatable tanks and sound-effects records, their job was to create a variety of deceptions. 

With the project being in development for a while now, the script has already gone through several drafts, the first was penned by Henry Gayden (Shazam!), which was then reworked by Nic Pizzolatto (True Detective). Per the outlet, Affleck is expected to rework the screenplay once more. 

Affleck’s most recent credit as director is 2016’s period gangster drama for Warner Bros., Live by Night.

How do you like them apples?

Longtime friends and Hollywood A-listers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and teaming up again and will helm Fox’s movie about the ex-cop who rigged McDonalds’ bi-annual monopoly game and stole millions back in 2001.

According to Deadline Affleck has been attached as director while Damon has been set to play ex-cop Jerome Jacobson. The two will produce through their Pearl Street company from a script penned by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese. 

The story was brought back to the headlines recently by Daily Beast writer Jeff Maysh’s article, “How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions.” This is how the story begins:

“On Aug. 3, 2001, a McDonald’s film crew arrived in the bustling beach town of Westerly, Rhode Island. They carried their cameras and a giant cashier’s check to a row of townhouses and knocked on the door of Michael Hoover. The 56-year-old bachelor had called a McDonald’s hotline to say he’d won their Monopoly competition… This was a McSting.”

The two has collaborated in the past on many projects and are best known for their acclaim feature Good Will Hunting.
